hello i think schools giving students more work during the holidays and having assessments due during the holidays should either be illegal or at least regulated in some way. like i don't think that's ok. that is the student's downtime to take a break from working. that is THEIR free time to relax that schools are taking up with more and more work to do after the term is finished and done. students are already overworked and burnt out as is, and their weekends are already taken up by either more work, jobs or extracurricular stuff. school can be incredibly strenuous on the workload they churn out when the students are actually going to school. a stack of homework can take hours per night, and simple assignments can take weeks to finish. people can't just keep doing that all the time, they need a stress-free break with no obligations to rest their minds. that is the reason the holidays are there. they're not an excuse for schools to cram in more and more work because "they'll have more time", students need a break otherwise their brains are literally going to stop working properly. let them take time off ffs.

(the same goes for teachers. teachers shouldn't be made to constantly work during the holidays, they deserve a break too. everyone deserves a break.)

this is the reason i am against school students deserve breaks holidays are NOT a time to cram in more work. people need breaks. humans NEED to rest their brains otherwise they're going to short circuit and burn out. they won't have the functioning to do any work if- -they keep having to constantly do more and more and more all the time. people are not robots. this is the reason i dropped out there was so much work being given to everyone during grades 11 and 12 that i was constantly stressed tf out and my brain was- -literally not working properly from the amount of work they were giving us and the fact that it takes me more effort to do an assignment- -because of my neurodivergence. doing work in school terms was already putting me at my limit and when i learned they were gonna start- -giving us work during the holidays my brain broke. so i stopped working and just left. school already took up enough of my free time doing hours of work every night as is. i was NOT gonna do more during the holidays. fuck that i actively refuse to do work during my time to relax and take a break. holidays are for relaxing not working. idiot and like it wasn't just simple homework. they were giving us entire assignments to do during the holidays that we should have been- -actually doing in class but weren't because of shitty scheduling. it was the school board's own fault we were doing holiday work. idk man maybe i'm biased because i'm against hustle and crunch culture but i think holidays should be a stress-free time away from doing- -any work whatsoever. or at least only a tiny bit of work and that's it. i don't think making people be ''productive'' all the time is ok doing nothing and not being productive after a long string of work is healthy. let us do it. goddamn. school Student school issues school is hell <- most accurate tag on tumblr breaks downtime hustle culture overworking burnout apologies to those who follow me for jetpack joyride and are getting posts about schools and overworking lmaoo
